Minecraft plugin PvPManager

🔌 About PvPManager

PvPManager — is a Minecraft plugin for servers that centralizes PvP/combat behaviour and player protection. PvPManager manages combat‑tagging, PvP toggles, newbie protection, kill rewards and inventory handling so server owners can control PvP rules without custom code. PvPManager aims at Paper and Spigot servers and focuses on performance and flexible configuration.

🎯 Purpose

PvPManager solves common PvP problems on a Minecraft server: combat logging, griefing by fleeing players, inconsistent PvP rules between worlds, and unfair newbie kills. PvPManager provides configurable combat timers, protections, and actions to run on kills to make PvP predictable and administrable on a Minecraft server. PvPManager is designed for live servers where plugin commands and plugin permissions must be dependable. ()

⚙ Core features

• Combat tagging with configurable timers and visual indicators (action bar / boss bar). ()
• Toggle PvP per player, per world, or server‑wide. ()
• Disable actions while in combat (fly, gamemode changes, certain commands). ()
• Anti‑combat log detection and punishments. ()
• New player protections (respawn/teleport protection) and measures against KDR abuse. ()
• Kill rewards, penalties and configurable custom commands on kills; flexible inventory handling (keep / drop / transfer to killer). ()
• Integrations: PlaceholderAPI plus optional integrations with common plugins (examples: WorldGuard, Citizens). ()

🧩 Who it's for

PvPManager fits server owners and admins who run:

• Survival and Factions servers that need reliable combat rules
• PvP arenas and minigame hubs that require combat tagging
• Networks using Paper/Spigot/Purpur where performance matters

If you need fine control of plugin commands and plugin permissions around PvP behaviour, PvPManager is a fit. ()

🏗 Example uses

• Enforce a 15‑second combat tag: prevent teleporting, flying and certain commands while tagged.
• Reward a killer with money and run custom commands; optionally transfer inventory on death.
• Auto‑protect newly joined players for X minutes to avoid spawn‑camping.

⌨️ Commands

Note: a full, authoritative listing of plugin commands and exact permission nodes is maintained in the PvPManager Wiki and resource pages. Use those pages to copy exact nodes into your permissions plugin. ()

🔐 Permissions

⚙ Installation

📥 Installation

• Download the plugin .jar from an official release (GitHub/Modrinth/Spigot). ()
• Place the .jar into your server's plugins/ folder.
• Restart the server (full restart recommended).

📦 Dependencies

• Confirmed integration/support: PlaceholderAPI. Optional integrations listed include WorldGuard and Citizens (integration availability depends on your config). Do not add unlisted dependencies unless documented. ()

🧾 Configuration

• PvPManager generates configuration files on first run (config folder/files). The README and Wiki hold detailed configuration examples. ()
• The plugin supports multiple configuration options for timers, messages and integration toggles; some options may require an external placeholder/bridge plugin to be fully effective (e.g., PlaceholderAPI). ()

🧠 Additional information

Known conflicts

• Conflicts can appear when multiple plugins try to control the same commands or player movement/state (for example, other combat, anti‑logout or inventory management plugins). Test on staging before production. ()

Limitations

• Exact behaviour depends on server implementation (Paper/Spigot) and certain integrations. Some features are extended in the premium edition. Do not assume hot‑reloading works for every change — use a restart when in doubt. ()
